ngl i got so scared they were gonna make mobius a fucking white picket fence two kids and a loving wife…and then they gave us “single dad” mobius “wife is long gone” hmm you’re really my friend? okay i ain’t arguing with a tall, handsome, dark haired stranger guess i’ll just follow you anywhere.
and then i was happy bc sylvie is so happy in her life!! by herself!!
and THEN i got so scared when loki & sylvie went for a drink and i was like alright here we go…and then i got “of course i know you. your friends are where they’re supposed to be. we’re writing our own stories. write your own.” and “i want my friends. i don’t want to be alone”
and then i was happy again bc she left to go listen to records!! and the record shop guy is cute! maybe she thought so. maybe not! she’s just vibing!!
and then i got, “it’s about who” while staring right at mobius.
what a fucking rollercoaster.

Ok but like the groundhog day nature of loki jumping back repeatedly is such a great fanfiction opportunity, i mean a whole century? did loki ever just jump back and immediately mess something up and decide he might as well have some fun and take a minute to make out with Mobius and other shenanigans before another do over?

POTENTIAL LOKI EPISODE 6 SPOILERS BELOW CUT
So I’ve taken this from a fan made compilation ‘trailer’ (posted before episode 5) of released footage that we’ve not seen used yet (here)
This definitely seems to be in Don’s neighbourhood, the question is, is this Sylvie saying, this is your life, go back to it? Or is it our Mobius watching his separate variant (Don) enjoy his life?
Oh GOD I hope it’s the latter 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Also why is it Sylvie and not Loki with him? WHY?
(Gonna have to write a fic where it’s actually Sylvie proving to Mobius that Loki likes him by showing him the moment Loki fixes his hair 🤣😭 that will help fix my undoubtedly soon to be broken heart)

All I’m seeing on my dash from “What if… the avengers assembled in 1602” is screenshots and gifs of Wanda and Loki and honestly this is so iconically correct and true
Also imaging theatre prince Loki trying to recruit Wanda to do some magical special effects for one of his stageplays is killing me dead

mobius' character development from big picture to selfish (as a foil to loki) // loki s2e6 spoilers
As a secondary character, we don’t usually get to investigate mobius’ motivations fully— from the start especially in s1 his whole drive is for the “greater good,” even as his understanding of the greater good changes (apart from following loki around like a puppy)
In the time theater we finally got a more personal reason why— he had to learn to prioritize the big picture above all else through his own story with the 8 year old because he’s seen and experienced the consequences firsthand. and this as the heart of his drive is part of what makes him a great agent-- his singlemindness
But at the “what the shit are you doing” lapel grab, loki said “trust me” and mobius replied “no.” And this clearly isn’t because mobius doesn’t actually trust loki (if you don’t think they trust each other, we have been watching two different shows hello???)
The following lines, loki’s “i know what i’m doing,” and mobius’ reply “no!” cannot be because mobius doesn’t actually think loki doesn’t know what he’s doing. it’s a denial. Loki up until this point has proven that he knows exactly what he’s doing, and that’s the scary part
But mobius doesn’t stop loki out of concern for “the greater good,” either. We see him consciously make the choice to pull loki in. Why? It’s a fear response. Because in this moment of imminent life-or-death, mobius is finally, selfishly allowing himself to cling to loki
It’s in part because he (rightfully so, as we uhhhh see later) does not trust loki’s sense of self-preservation, that loki is not about to do something rash. Which is part of why loki remains so calm. We know that he’s seen mobius do this (and let him!) countless times— he remains calm and reassuring to give mobius a sense of stability and comfort
So as loki is zooming out and approaching self-sacrificial glorious purpose, mobius is learning how to be selfish. which is oddly enough not only more like loki, but sylvie too— after all, they’re the two at the blast doors crying for loki to prioritize himself over the greater good, even though both of their motivations until now have been much more big-picture
(i could probably get into how mobius and sylvie are the same in this respect, and how it works for mobius while sylvie falls flat, but that's for another time)
In the end, mobius returns to his timeline because in learning selfishness, he’s trying to "go "return" to what he thinks he wants. He’s unfulfilled watching don because he realizes that a quiet, divorced life (alone) with his kids is not actually what mobius wants.
What does mobius want? Well, it’s not about what, it’s about who
